telnet from Internet Public access stations

[Jean-Marc Edwards]

David,

What happens if a user clicks on another telnet link than your 
library catalogue? How do you restrict access to other telnet sites? 
What happens if they click on other telnet links?
We are also looking into ways to give access to telnet our provincial
Internet security policy  does not allow us to give open telnet access on 
public stations without login identification with username and password.
